Charging on mac

Is there a setting to change in Itunes so i can charge my video ipod on my ibook's usb... even though the ipod is set up to a PC?

as long as your usb port is a high power port it should work. wondows-formatted ipods do have limited connectivity with macs.

Even when I charge my Mac Pro to the full bar, the battery seems to be drained even when I am not using it. Example, after charging it full, i switched it on the next day and its 79% battery left. Is there something wrong? help please

Assuming you are disconnecting from line power, when you say switched on, do you mean it was shutdown or in sleep mode? If sleep mode the battery will still drain because sleep still keeps some things active and the battery does drain a little. However, to go from 100% to 79% charge overnight is a bit excessive in sleep mode. Unless you have some processes set to activate over night by the cron file and do things like backup the system.
What are the statistics on the battery, the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power...things like battery Condition, Capacity, remaining charge, voltage, current.

Yes you can use an 85W adapter with a MacBook that requires a 60W adapter. Not an issue.

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

All you will need is a wall outlet adaptor. No power converter required.

Is it good to charge a mac overnight?

I always take my MacBook Pro 13' to school, and I dont like taking my charger so i charge my Mac overnight.
Is it good or bad for the battery as I am unsure? And if there is any more info, could you please include it in the response!
Thanks

Hello isaacjacob123,
As dwb says it is no problem to leave the cord in overnight, maybe for the electricity bill and enviromental reasons, but not you're Mac.
Also: I use Battery Health (available on the app store for free) to moniter my battery's Health. As over time you're battery will loose the ability to fully charge, thus it will not last as long as when you bought it.
When I think my Macbook should perform longer, I adjust my screenbrightness, my preference is three bars from max, but it differs from what Macbook I am using.
And if you use a pro with 2 videocards you could use the app gfxCardStatus to set the used videocard to the integrated GFC. This will get you longer battery life for sure.

I'm having a very similar problem.
I've got a 2010 iMac that I've got hooked up to my Pioneer Elite via HDMI cable using the Moshi adapter.
It's been working great for months, but today the audio began dropping out -- a fraction of a second, every six seconds or so.
I installed the latest Snow Leopard update today. Does anyone think there might be a connection?
thx!

2nd Gen ipod shuffle charges on Mac but not on PC

I recently switched from Mac to PC and my 2nd-Gen ipod shuffle won't charge on PC. The PC reads my shuffle and I'm able to transfer music from itunes, however the battery light indicator doesn't glow. In order to charge the battery, I have to plug my ipod back to my macbook which is inconvenient. Btw, I connect my ipod to the PC with USB 3.0 port..I have windows 7 if that's any help.. Suggestions anyone?

Also, take a look on iTunes if the battery icon is showing that the unit is in charge. Because if you're able to transfert music on it, there's no choice, there's must be electricity on it.

A new machine shouldn't need one, but it's it's not charging that's the solution.
All I can figure it sat on a shelf at Best Buy too long, they are closing 50 stores so I hear, so apparantly they haven't been busy like a Apple Store is and product flies off the shelves in pristine charged up like condiiton.

My macbook pro charger will not charge my mac. The charger is in great condition, but it will not register as charging and it will not charge my computer. is there any way to fix this?

My computer has stopped recieving charge. The charger is in great condition, but it will not register, nor charge my computer. I do not know if its my mac or the charger. Is there any way to fix this?

Do you have another charger to test with?
It is very possible that somehow the wire might have gotten bent without your knowledge and that is why it is not working.
If you have an Apple store near you, you might want to set up a genius appointment so that they can test it for you.

IPod Nano won't charge on Mac Pro

Strange problem this. I have the following machines:
iMac 10.5.8 (late 2006); iTunes 9.0.1
iMac 10.6.2 (late 2009); iTunes 9.0.2
Mac Pro 10.5.8 (2006); iTunes 9.0.2
My Mac Pro has my itunes library on it.
I have a 1st gen Nano and 2 2nd gen Nanos which sync and charge fine with the Mac Pro. I also have 1st gen Touch and an iPhone, both of which will sync and charge with the Mac Pro.
Just got 2 new toys in the family: a 5th gen Nano and a 3rd gen Touch. Neither will sync or charge with the Mac Pro. However both will sync and charge fine with either of the iMacs.
I have tried all 5 USB ports on the Mac Pro, they are all USB 2.0 so should be ok, and I have tried 3 different sync cables. The best I managed was once the 5th gen nano started charging, connected then 10 secs later disconnected again.
Does anyone know if the latest ipods work with the 2006 Mac Pro? If so, any ideas what could cause this?

An update....it looks as though none of my iPods work will sync with the Mac Pro anymore, which changes the nature of the problem completely. I did a sync to my 1st gen Nano yesterday so I know it was working then. Since yesterday the only change I can think of is trying to sync the new iPods to the Pro.
Each time I plug an iPod into the Pro I get the following errors on the Console:
Dec 25 13:11:36 Macintosh kernel[0]: USBF: 289.304 [0x8663a00] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 1 of hub @ location: 0xfd000000)
Dec 25 13:11:43 Macintosh kernel[0]: USBF: 296.538 [0x8663a00] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
I'm going to try reinstalling iTunes. Anyone seen this before?

My MacBook Pro has charging problems, when I connect the mag to the plug the led lightsand starts to charge the Mac but after approx 20 seconds it turns off and stops charging the Mac so it is impossible to turn the computer on. any explanation?

I need some help when I connect the MagSafe to the Mac and to the plug the led of the MagSafe lits green then it turns yellow charges the computer for about 20 seconds and then it turns off. If I disconnect the MagSafe from the power sock and I connect it again it restarts the same procedure charges the computer for a few second and turns off again. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
